# Analysis: "High Hat" Judge Magazine Page This page from Judge (likely 1933, based on "The Good Old Days of 1933" article) addresses Prohibition's repeal, which occurred in December 1933. **Main Content:** The "Advice to Young Pickles" column ironically offers etiquette for drinking now that alcohol is legal again. The satire mocks the sudden shift from Prohibition enforcement to regulated consumption—advising moderation to those eager to overindulge after years of illegality. **"The Good Old Days of 1933" article** nostalgically reviews the Depression year, noting that hardship built character. It references real 1933 figures: "Mono-man Bankster" (likely banker villainy generally), the "Bootlegger" (now unemployed post-Repeal), and Bernard Shaw's visit to America. The piece celebrates that Wall Street and Tammany Hall returned wealth/power, and Notre Dame football resumed—trivial consolations for economic suffering. **The cartoon illustration** shows a fashionable woman holding a cocktail over discarded liquor bottles and broken prohibition paraphernalia—celebrating Repeal's arrival. The overall satire: Americans are returning to drinking with comic earnestness, treating it as a "pleasant function" rather than criminal excess.
